Sonic Youth Preview New Music in Mixtape

Indie originators Sonic Youth have offered the world a nice little gift on this freezing Friday: A free mixtape streaming on their website. As the band points out, the new mixtape-- which, anachronistically enough, appears in a graphic that looks like an actual cassette tape-- includes tracks from their soundtrack to the French film Simon Werner a Disparu, as well as Daydream Nation-era demos and the acoustic version of "Star Power" that they played on [the 2009 episode of "Gossip Girl"](http://pitchfork.com/news/36792-watch-sonic-youth-on-gossip-girl/ "the 2009 episode of "Gossip Girl"" ) where Rufus and Lily got married.
